A
situation in which farmland prices skyrocket due to speculation in the futures market in one or more crops. Asset bubbles form when too much
money finds its

Farmers are planting more and more corn, because the demand for
ethanol is creating a farmland bubble by raising the
value of their
land to previously unheard of heights.
